A wonderful morning spent with Sharon and Christine, sharing their knowledge of the history of Hahndorf and German cooking. Having visitied Hahndorf many times it was very intersting to find out the history of places we would normally walk past, Sharon was very passionate and inclusive with her story telling skills. I would highly recommend joining with Sharon and Christine for a fantastic experience.Written 16 January 2024
- ouraniafrendo0 contributionsStudel and Stroll Tour a mustHahndorf is what I thought it would be and more. Especially after the fantastic Studel and Stroll Tour with Sharon. It was very interesting to learn about the town including its history struggles and triumphs of its men, women and its community. Can really see the passion in this town and its connection to their heritage. Strudel making & eating was wonderful. Definitely book at the Hahndorf in for lunch - not to be missed.Written 3 January 2024

- stephenbW516UG0 contributionsInformative, fun walk in HahndorfSharon gave us an entertaining and informative tour of Hahndorf. In an easy walking tour we learnt about what drove people to leave their homes and cross the ocean to South Australia, and all that it took to build their new lives in the hills above Adelaide. With access to areas that are closed to the general public we got an appreciation of Hahndorf that extended well beyond its beautifully preserved colonial buildings. Highly recommend spending some time with Hahndorf Walking Tours.Written 17 October 2023
- ianaF5558ZE0 contributionsFantastic walking tour of Hahndorf - a must do on your visit.Sharon was fantastic. So knowledgeable and gave us a in depth history of the area, sharing significant sites and facts but in a way that was easy to appreciate and learn from. We did the Strudel making at the Hahndorf Inn first and thought our guide would be there for this.. We also enjoyed lunch at the hotel afterwards and had our own strudel served to us for dessert. It was a great way to spend a day in Hahndorf. Ian and Nat (visiting from NSW)Written 20 August 2023
- Patricia T0 contributionsA Must Do in HahndorfMy daughter and I had an excellent tour with Sharon. She is so vibrant in her presentation and knowledgable about the history of the Hahndorf area. I was impressed with how she involved 2 younger members of our tour group and was able to make the history come alive. Without the tour I feel we would not have enjoyed Hahndorf in the same way. I totally recommend this tour.Written 20 May 2023
- lyno1580 contributionsThis enjoyable tour is world class!Loved this tour with Lorraine and highly recommend it. Hahndorf is so obviously beautiful and easy to enjoy with its leafy avenues, historic facades, art and cafes but having a deeper understanding of the history helped me enjoy it even more. Absolutely world class!Written 14 March 2023
- E8603KHnatashas0 contributionsLearn the history in a friendly tourWe loved learning about the history of Hahndorf in this tour with a small group and very knowledgeable guide. Fantastic to see “off the beaten track” and would definitely recommend this tour as the first thing to do if knew to Hahndorf.Written 2 January 2023
- Kathryn2470 contributionsChristkindlmarkt - Strudel & StrollWe were fortunate to be in the area for the Christkindlmarkt, and found online by accident a Strudel & Stroll Tour. So we booked it! What a great experience!! Firstly making a strudel that we could enjoy after the tour. Then meeting Sharon, who has so much interesting information to share about Hahndorf and the Prussians arriving and settling. Seeing back streets and areas we would never dream of being allowed to venture into. Thank you for adding to our adventures.Written 22 December 2022
- DLB8300 contributionsA walk through time2 of us took a 1 hour+ walking tour of Hahndorf with Lorraine recently. She was most informative and shared a wealth of historical facts about the founding of Hahndorf and the surrounding region.that you would simply not be able to garner just by walking around. Would certainly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of the town & area.Written 3 December 2022
- F2192VAjessical0 contributionsFun, Informative and intimateWe booked the Hahndorf after dark tour, very last minute on the day of the tour. This was not an issue for Sharon who turned up and essentially provided us a private tour as it was only my partner and I. Sharon was fun, personable and very knowledgeable of the Hahndorf history. It was great getting this history and then walking around the next day looking at town and understanding that.Written 9 November 2022

Both Sharon & Lorraine went above and beyond to ensure that my husband and I were able to take the tour during a relatively short holiday in Adelaide and competing arrangements. Sharon is a wonderful, knowledgeable and genuine person who really wants visitors to get the most out of their visit to the region. Lorraine was our tour guide. She is very personable and knowledgeable and helped to make the history of Hahndorf come alive. When in Hahndorf, do not simply walk along the street and look at the buildings/shops. Book a walking tour to learn about the history of what you are seeing, and visit places beyond the main street.

Hello!
Thank you so much for this lovely review.
As the owner of Hahndorf Walking tours this is exactly why I commenced this business - to highlight the value to digging deeper into the village. Our street, our artisans and our food and beverages are world class but our history, our architecture and our stories are priceless.
Thank you again!
Kindest Regards Sharon

My husband and I did the afternoon and night walking tour at Hahndorf.
We really enjoyed learning about the history, architects, and people who built the area. Sharon was our tour guide, she was fantastic at explaining the history of the town and making the walking tour fun and enjoyable.
We had dinner at The Haus restaurant followed by the night walking tours which was a great closing to our day in Hahndorf.
This tour is highly recommended! Thank you Sharon and the team.

My wife and I had the walking tour and the strudel making and thoroughly enjoyed both. Starting off with the strudel making, we were walked through the ingredients and steps in putting the strudel together. Then it was handed over to the kitchen for eating later when we had lunch. Then Lorraine took us on a tremendous walk around Hahndorf, with great insight into how the town was formed and the hardships that the founding peoples had to go through. We would thoroughly recommend the tour to anyone who enjoys history and loves eating yummy strudels. And it was yummy.

Thank you guys for the 5 star review. It means so much to Hahndorf Walking Tours.
I will pass your kind words onto Loraine.
The Prussian immigrants certainly started their lives in South Australia working hard
to get settled. Harder still was their life in Prussia so their freedom was certainly worth
the long trip to a new land.
Hope we see you again in our beautiful village.

Really enjoyed our walking tour today with Sharon. There’s nothing quite as good as hearing about a place from a local who is passionate & knowledge about her town & it’s fascinating history. Especially loved being able to go inside the old Lutheran church & seeing an original wood “house” 1839 where the family lived under the same roof as the dairy cows. Really worth doing.

We had only arrived in Hahndorf (2 night stay) an hour or so earlier, so a walking tour with Loraine was an excellent introduction to the town. She was excellent and so full of facts and information about history of the place; able to convey the information in such a calm and pleasant way. We were both really glad to have done the tour, without which we probably wouldn't have realised the history and great endeavours that had taken place.

I will pass it onto Loraine as well. She will be very pleased you enjoyed your time in Hahndorf

Myself and my guides all live in Hahndorf so we live, and love, the village and I'm glad you felt that too.

Comunication regarding booking service was very poor. No direct contact available regarding personal contact. Mobile no refers you verbaly to another mobile no? Sent an email in stead but alas no reply. When we turned up at Hahndorf Inn to hopefully participate in the walking tour, the staff were not aware of such an event at all! So l just stood waiting for a group to assemble, but alas no such assembly was apparent?
All i can say just as well i did not use the booking service to take my money, I suspect the return of my money would have been just as elusive!

Hello I"m sorry you feel frustrated. The walking tours do not commence without a minimum of 2 people booking. If you had booked a tour on line the guides would have met you outside the Hahndorf Inn as our per our information.
The information on the phone message clearly stated I was interstate out of phone range which is why Carol, one of my guide, was fielding any enquiries. If you had rung her she would have very easily answered any enquiries and even at that late notice been able to conduct a tour for you all.
There are several new Hahndorf Inn staff so I don't expect them to know about this particular tour as my Strudel and Stroll Walking Walking Tour is the one which operates from the Inn. The Strassendorf Walking Tour has a meeting location outside the Hahndorf Inn only.
I'm very disappointed that you have made a random claim about my business being 'a scam' and giving a one star rating. Niether Hahndorf Walking Tours nor Viator would approve such behaviour. There are numerous reviews to support the quality and professionalism of our business. I'm sorry you missed out on a fabulous experience.
You sent an email on Saturday 15/7/2023 9.27am. and it was responded to on Monday 17/7/7.39am. when I was back in range.
When you plan your return to Hahndorf we look forward to seeing you on a walking tour.
I'm sure you will have enjoyed your visit to Hahndorf.

We received a gift voucher for the tour and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide Sharon was very friendly and so knowledgable about the history of Hahndorf. As a local resident she also gave us lots of information about current day businesses, making suggestions about other places we could visit while we were in the town. After previously visiting just the main street, it was great to look deeper into how the town has progressed over the years.
We would recommend the Walking Tours to others.

I did the strudel and stroll tour last week and had a fantastic time! From making the strudel in the Inn that really feels like a German beerhaus, to the walk around the town and learning about the history, architects, and people who built the area. Sharon was a fantastic guide. If you haven't done a walking tour before, I highly recommend! they are a great way to slow down, meet people and learn more about the town you're in. You'll feel like a local by the end.

Hi Rachel
Thank you so much for your 5 star review.
It's what we strive for each time we meet our visitors.
Holidays can be so full of adventure but to absorb and take a location into your heart
a walking tour is the best way to learn more about the place you visit.
The 'Strudel and Stroll Walking Tour' combines all the senses - taste, smell, site and sound.
Glad all your senses were satisfied.
Regards
Sharon

Did our second tour with this company today. Cannot fault either of the tours or tour guides. Both Sharon and Loraine are extremely knowledgeable and well informed and convey the information in an excellent manner. Friendly, helpful and accommodating. Website is easy to use to book the tours and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are interested in learning about the history of this beautiful town, then this is a must.

Hi, just a couple of question:
- Does the Hahndorf walking tour and strudel walking tour include children for free or is there a fee for children? This site doesn't indicate either way.
- Can I co-ordinate the walking tour for husband and do the strudel & walking tour for my son and myself so its done together for the walking tour? And can my son do the strudel making? He will be almost 12 yrs old when we get to Hahndorf in late Dec/early Jan.
Please advise. Thanks - very much appreciated.
